Designer Drugs

Pamela's Law permanently bans the sale and possession of the synthetic cathinone 3,4-Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) and its many derivatives and analogues in the state of New Jersey. The chemical cousins of MDPV that were also banned are Mephedrone (4-MMC), Methylone (MDMC), Methedrone (PMMC), Flephedrone (4-FMC), and 3-Fluoromethcathinone (3-FMC). It was named "Pamela's Law" after a 22-year old Rutgers student, Pamela Schmidt, who was murdered by her boyfriend who was said to have been under the influence of "bath salts", a set of designer drugs containing synthetic cathinones.
